Bassoon Refinishing

Start making some small post hole refacers

Guide post for the cutter

Match them against each other, for visual conformation

Here I am using my post cutter to clean and paint from base of post

You can mask the tone holes if you wish for the stain and paint, I dont

I use the finish to act as a guide coat for when I reface the tone holes to make sure they are smooth and structurally solid

Here I can see one side of the tone hole has worn down over the years

I alter my hand postion to minimise the amount of material I remove, but in the end I have a perfectly refaced tone hole

About 50mls will do to finish the wing joint

First coat of finish is applied to seal the surface
